The City Veterinary Office has announced the schedule for its free Anti-Rabies Vaccination program, which will run from October 30 to November 11, 2024. During this period, pet owners can have their dogs and cats vaccinated against rabies without any cost. This initiative is part of the city’s ongoing effort to prevent the spread of rabies and protect both pets and the public.
The vaccination campaign is open to all pet owners who wish to ensure the safety and health of their animals. The City Veterinary Office will be available for walk-in appointments from Monday to Thursday, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM. Pet owners can visit the office during these hours to have their pets vaccinated.
The program is specifically aimed at addressing the growing concern of rabies, which remains a significant threat to both humans and animals. Rabies is a viral disease that can be fatal if left untreated, and it is most commonly transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. By offering free vaccinations, the city hopes to significantly reduce the number of rabies cases in the area.
In addition to the scheduled vaccination days, the City Veterinary Office is encouraging pet owners to take advantage of the walk-in service. This flexible option allows pet owners who may have missed the scheduled dates to still get their pets vaccinated. The office’s staff will be on hand to assist with the process and provide any additional information about rabies prevention.
It is important to note that rabies vaccination is not only essential for the health of the pet but also for the safety of the entire community. Unvaccinated pets, particularly those that roam freely, are at a higher risk of contracting and spreading the disease. This vaccination campaign aims to reduce such risks by ensuring as many pets as possible receive the necessary protection.
Residents are reminded to bring their pets to the City Veterinary Office within the vaccination schedule to take full advantage of the free service. The office will make every effort to accommodate all pets in need of vaccination during the program’s run.
This initiative reflects the local government’s commitment to public health and animal welfare. With the support of the community, the city hopes to maintain a rabies-free environment and continue to safeguard the well-being of its residents and their pets.
